Bednarek would do a decent job for those teams, especially in a slower league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 9 March, 2022 Share Posted 9 March, 2022 Bednarek can go. Salisu is to keep, I imagine he’d stay here longer anyway, it’s taken him that long to settle in I can’t imagine him uplifting his life again that quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be sold this summer if he doesn't extend his contract, if we want to make a substantial profit on the deal. That's just the reality. I imagine he'll stay in England, though.

once_bitterne Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 I think the club's strategy all along was to put Livermento in the shop window and sell him fr a nice profit as quickly as possible.

Players are not picked to be in the shop window, they are picked to win games. Well for a start KWP was just about our best player in the entire squad in the pre-season so that can't be true. Sadly football is as much about what goes on in the bank balance as the league table now. I can think it very feasible, if we have two RBs of similar ability, that we could well be playing the one we think we could make a huge profit on to re-invest in new transfers. If Chelsea get a new owner sorted by the Summer but no longer have the financial might of Roman then I think they could well be looking at using the buy back deal they have with us as this will be cheaper than buying a similar talent player from another club.

Not quite at a CL club level but exactly the sort of player they can pay over the odds for in terms of transfer fees and wages. They already had an early try in January.

Yeah agreed, KWP has been better than Livramento the entire season for me. Bar maybe a couple of stand out performances by Livramento I don't think its ever really been in doubt. Livramento is good, but he shouldn't be a starting choice over Perraud or KWP on current form. I think at the start of the season he was played for 2 reasons - one because perraud had to bed in to english footy, and two because Livramento was (and is) a great marketting ploy for our shop window business model - there is no better way to sell yourself to young players than to be able to point to players like Livramento and Broja coming in and making an impact in the premier league. I personally think the club will be delighted to have all 3 of them here, all signed for a good price, all young (ish), all on reasonable wages, and all with potential resale value / profit. The chelsea situation is interesting. On the one hand, it suddenly looks quite unlikely that they will be able to take up that first option on Livramento now (transfer ban / financial situation) - so we can potentially sell him for a lot more. But equally, they'll probably be forced to sell a lot of first team players (like Lukaku) to balance the books - which means they'll either see Broja as a critical player for the intermediate future - or a cash cow to be milked. Eitherway, i think its probably more unlikely than ever that we'll sign him now Edited 11 March, 2022 by Saint86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 TBH there’re still quite a few I wouldn’t be at all fussed to see the back of. Any of our ‘keepers, Stephens, Valery, Moi, Walcott, Long and Djenepo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New CB for sure, Stephens being sold makes sense then demote Bednarek to third choice etc. I think Lyanco was our CB signing for a 'few years' though, we missed the boat to upgrade on Bednarek last summer in my opinion. Number 10 area's need a total overhaul and I really, really hope the club see that. Moussa, Theo, Redmond can go. Smallbone needs a loan to toughen up and work out his position. We're not far away, probably 3 or 4 players, but if we don't fill those spots then we'll just continue being a bit of a nothing mid-table team.

HarvSFC Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 Our next CB signing needs to be in the Lovren, Alderweireld, Van Dijk bracket. All three were still developing in their careers and hadn’t hit their peak when we got them. However, all three had also played in the Champions League and were fairly experienced for their age. We’re currently searching for potential, but for players with limited experience, which can prove costly and bring in too many in-match errors at centre-back. A bit of experience but still with potential to grow is the perfect balance and those three were our most successful centre-back signings of recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ll get anyone who is anywhere near that level of quality. I think this just highlights how incredible our recruitment was during those years. 3 top class CB’s there.

Bednarek is a better option than Stephens, but not by much imo. However we're likely to pick up a much better offer for Bednarek (international caps, age, 3 years still on contract etc). I'd be inclined to shift him and keep Stephens and Lyanco to compete for 3rd/4th choice* *on the basis that we look to bring in a quality CB to partner Salisu. As others have suggested, a CB with CL or EL experience similar to how we targeted VVD, Alderweireld etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the latest transfer rumours and it looks like it's already too late. Man City and Liverpool are both being linked with him. As you said, on our budget, it's difficult.
